Wind Pressure in accordance with NZS 4203:1992

V(z) = V.Mls.M(z,cat).Ms.Mt.Mr

where
V = basic directional wind speed = 47 m/s
Mls.= limit state multiplier = 1.07 ultimate (100 year return period)

M(z,cat).= site terrain / height multiplier = 1.11 ULS


Category 2.5
ULS Height 45 m
Ms. = shielding multiplier = 1
Mt. = topographic multiplier = 1.2
Mr = structure risk multiplier = 1
